Birds and Nature in Northeast Ohio

Winter in Northeast Ohio can feel long, which makes January a perfect time for an indoor escape that still connects us to the outdoors. The Historical Society of Old Brooklyn welcomes author Laura Peskin with a presentation that blends Cleveland history, landscape change, and urban ecology. From former industrial sites to rail corridors, the program shows how history lives not only in buildings and documents, but also in the land itself — and in what continues to thrive there. Think of it as a mid-winter, indoors-only field trip: a chance to get outdoorsy without the cold.
